    Cool! What does the right side do? Here's how it's now, the enclosure I want is on backorder so two-three week wait before I can finish this. I'll need to figure out a way to get a counter that can go backwards automatically.

    Testing all the components here. Still waiting for the Hammond case I ordered for these. I guess I could just use that cardboard box as housing meanwhile. Motor seems to hold fine for my needs, 1000 rpm at full throttle even with that wood block and magnet on there. 12V power so it's even safe to use!

    This will be a black limba neckthrough. Render with wood texture, while I wait for them to arrive. Anyone used ziricote as fretboard wood before? I'd think it's too splintery? Just saw stewmac has those available.

    Just for biz.

    I wanted to build a floyd equipped guitar since I've never owned a good one, and it's been over 20 years since I owned a bad one. So why not make it extremely pointy as well. Inspired by the Hondo Death Dagger shape:

    So here's this ugly thing.

    More shenanigans ensue. Pretty happy how it looks like for hardware store rattle can job.

    This will become a copper top. Always wanted to try how it would look. So why not on this one since it doesn't matter how it looks.

    I was thinking that too, but all motorized linear rails I could find were way too tall, 38mm I think was the lowest. I did find a 10mm tall 150mm long linear guide rail without motor though for $10 off aliexpress.

    My caveman solution, since using the ball bearings didn't work out on this model of slider. It's just a piece of binding and some candle wax on the rail. Automated screw drive version coming up in 2030.

    Found this guy, prolly will use something similar. Much better than my original idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1faDlCaUCFs

    It gives a chuckle how ugly this thing is.

    I'm kind of leaning more towards wraparound bridge. Front loading gives the advantage that I can have the guitar laying on a table without having to turn it around.
  14. nakedzen
    Well that would work. But would go against the "quick and dirty, only parts what I already have" for this build. I won't make a whole new body for that! In other news, the back of the headstock will have a flamed birch veneer. And not at all because I made the headstock 0.5mm too thin for the tuners.

    Got the neck shaped and frets installed.

    We'll see, I think that will be for the V2.0. The sliding pickups rails wouldn't be possible for a back cavity I think? The idea right now is something simple like this, slots on the pickguard for the pickup screws that I can slide around:

    I'll call this one "Made with a spoon, in jail"

    As in it's a tool, not an instrument. I wanted to make something that makes swapping pickups a breeze so I can test my new winds. Happened to have some pine blanks that the fatherinlaw gave me, and a roughed out maple neck and fretboard. It'll have some kind of a simple system to change the pickup position on the pickguard. Rails or something, we'll see.

    So here's how it ended up looking.

    I play the guitars I've built. I sell the ones that don't see too much use, usually it's max. 4-5 guitars and one bass until the wife starts giving me looks. No one knows my preference in necks better, so it's great to use your own builds. It took me something like 15 years to find the first guitar I really gelled with, my (now sold) ESP Horizon. Too bad I never liked the sound I was able to get out of it.
  21. nakedzen
    I guess I'll give some contest. Build #13 Honduran mahogany one piece neck Ebony fretboard Khaya body Maple cap Ziricote veneer Jescar frets, handwound P90, blower mod, Gotoh tuners, Tonepros bridge, Graphtech tusq nut

    One coat of tru oil on to seal the dye. Got the ferrules out! Backside will be black.
  23. nakedzen
    Just remembered, this one is the same dye+tru oil, so it didn't affect the tone too much. Tru oil it is!
  24. nakedzen
    Yeah I guess I'll need to do a test piece on how it'll look.
  25. nakedzen
    Probably truoil. But I get rattlecan nitro from redblack.fi
